Lampasas, June 9 —At 2:15 jester-day
afternoon the convention ’ again
assembled.
Temporary Chairman F. 0. Hume
announced that the committee on ere-dentials
was ready to report. Breitz
of Brazos, the chairman, read the re-port
of the oommittee,
Ramsey of Johnson moved its
adoption. There was no opposition
and the report was unanimously
adopted.
D G. Wooten of Dallas, chairman
of the committee on permanent orga-nization,
read the report of his com-mittee.
It was recommended that all re so-lutions
be referred to the committee
on platform without debate. The re-port
was adopted.
Chairman Hume—It is my pleasure,
in retiring from the presidency pro
tem. to introduce to yon a man who
needs no introduction to any son of
Texas, Hon. J. W. Thockmorton,
your permanent chairman. [Ap
plause.]
Throckmorton on taking the
stand was cordiallly greet-ed.
He made a brief, plain talk.
“We are,” he said, “on the thres-hold
of the great national campaign,
the issues in which involve the pros-perity,
progress and happiness of the
American people and to no small de-gree
of prosperity of the people of
Texas. Time has been when Texas
was a small part of the American
union, but she has assumed respeot-able
proportions. The time is not far
distant whe'n Texas will become the
great arbiter between the states of this
union. I congratulate you in the har-mony
so far enjoyed. The report of
the committee on credentials speaks
louder than words of the prudence
and wisdom of this convention and I
trust assures harmony in its proceed-ings.
We come here as representa-lives
of the great body of Texas
Democrats. You are regarded as the
leaders cf that party, a party which
from time immemorial or since the
government was organized has had
the welfare of the people in its keep
ing and as long as it exists will have
care of the peace of the country and
preservation of the constitution and
union of these states intact.
“It becomes us as a Democratic
people to remember who were the
grand founders of the Democratic
party, who have labored to preserve
it, the constitution and the blessings
of liberty and the protection of the
lives, property and happiness of the
people. I trust no aot of yours will

mar the harmony that
has so far existed and seems iiow
to exist. I congratulate you, myself
and'the people of Texas on the hope
that the example set today may ex-tend
through the length of this great
state.”
Allusions to presidential nominees
elicited applause when Carlisle’s name
was mentioned, and the convention
became wild at Cleveland’s.
“Democratic ascendency,” he con-tinued,
“is Decessary so that the people
may control the government. Silver
coinage as well as tariff reform are
questions, and it behooves Democrats
to stand shoulder to shoulder upon
these issues.” The free coinage
reference was heartily applauded.
Giddings of Washington, chairman
of the committee, presented the plat-form
which he said was broad enough
for all the Democrats to stand iipon
without jostling There is no room
on it, however, for the third party
people now, nor will there be in the
future. [Applause]
Co). Giddings read the platform,
the same as wired The News yester-day,
omitting the clause on pensions,
which the committee struck out.
There was but this one charge
The free coinage plank was cheered,
but the plank that drew the greatest
applause was that favoring the elec-tion
of president, vice president and
United States senators by the vote of
the people. The previous question
was ordered and the platform was
adopted.
Col. Giddings then read the resolu-tion
indorsing Cleveland’s adminis-tration
and instructing for him, as the
report of a majority of the oommittee
on platform and resolutions.
Mr. Rugely of Montague presented
the minority report on this resolution,
declaring:
“1. We reoognize in Grover Cleve-land
an hone.-1 and patriotic Demoorat,
whose recent administration was
characterized by unquestioned cour-age,
integrity and wisdom. [Ap-plause.
2. That our delegates to the Chioa-go
convention are instructed to
support a man for the nomination as
president who is in thorough aooord
and touch with the Demooraoy on all
the vital living issues of the hour and
who, in their best judgment, possesses
the quality of availability and will
carry the Democratic banner through
to victory.” [Applause.]
Mr. Douglass of Hill presented as a
substitute a resolution that the Texas
delegation to Chicago are hereby in-struoted
to vote as a unit in favor of
the nomination of a candidate who is
known to be in sympathy with the
democratic demands for tariff reform
and the free coinage of silyer. [Ap-plause.]
McDonald of Lamar made a strong
talk in favor of the original resolution.
The question was, whether the con-vention
would repudiate Cleveland or
not.
Col Giddings explained the vari-ous
propositions, and that the com-mittee
adopted literally the Georgia
plank. The Douglas proposition
would slap Cleveland in the face.
Mr. Douglass of Hill spoke for his
proposition and inferentially admitted
it was in direct hostility to Cleveland.
Mr. Wooten of Dallas construed the
resolutions to he in effect an instruo-tion
to the delegation to vote against
Cleveland. He asked if the conven-tion
would submit to this outrage, f
Web Finley at this point presented
a charming compromise, which the
Cleveland men especially could favor.
He said:
“I am neither pleased with the snb-stitute
nor the amendment to it. If
there is anything certain about the
politics of Texas it is that the Demo-cratic
party is devoted to Grover
Cleveland. [Applause] To such an
extent it has never been devoted to
any man in this country. Yet I
would not have the Texas delegation
instructed for him, but believe we
should deolare that it is the sense of
the democracy of Texas that Grover
Cleveland is its choice. I have a
resolution as a substitute, which is as
follows:
“Resolved, That we recognize in
Grover Cleveland a model of Ameri-can
manhood, patriotism and states-manship,
and we declare him to be
the choice of the democracy of Texas
for president of the United States.
Reoognizing, however, some questions
of availability, we entrust the matter
in the hands of our delegation un-fettered
by positive instruction.”
[ Applause.]
At this time the convention was in
something of a furore of excitement.
When Senter of Tarrant obtained
recognition he was in a frenzy of
earnestness. The splendid lungs of
the Hill men soon urged him to the
stand and the David B. Hill editor of
the Fort Worth Gazette sailed in. He
said the question as to whether the
convention should reflect on Mr.
Cleveland was not raised by the op-ponents
of Cleveland, but by hia
friends. He thought the question
was whether the convention should
